Council Direction Statement
This work corresponds with Carrboro Connects Chapter 10: Public Services & Communication (Public Works 1A) - Administer contracts for bi-annual street resurfacing, sidewalk improvements, and pavement markings based on maintenance needs identified in the Pavement Condition Survey and Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Condition Survey.
Annual maintenance and resurfacing of Town roads are necessary to prevent asphalt pavement failure and to maintain safe infrastructure. In addition to street resurfacing, this project will include updating a number of curb ramps for ADA compliance, adding a stretch of sidewalk linking the new Drakeford Library Complex to the existing sidewalk network (Attachment C), installing a pedestrian refuge island and buffered bike lanes on Fidelity St. (Attachment D), and installing a physically separated pedestrian lane on E. Poplar Ave. (Attachment E). The complete list of locations can be found in Attachment A.

Information
INFORMATION: The Town of Carrboro receives annual State Powell Bill funds for roadway maintenance. In 2022, Public Works hired LaBella Associates to conduct a Town-wide street condition assessment. Utilizing the results of this assessment, Public Works developed a project manual and bid package for street resurfacing and patching. According to the assessment, the weighted average Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) of the streets selected for resurfacing is 79.5, compared to an overall average PCR of 91.2 for the Town’s entire street system (note that pavement condition on Roberson St. and E. Braxton Foushee St. has degraded significantly since the assessment because of the construction vehicle traffic on those streets). This bid package was advertised on April 28, 2025 and a public bid opening was held on May 19, 2025. The results of this bid opening can be found in Attachment B: Summary of Bids.
Staff have taken steps to reach minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) by advertising the bid opportunity in The Triangle Tribune newspaper. Bidders were required to make good faith efforts to include MWBE subcontractor participation and to provide documentation of outreach and participation.

Fiscal and Staff Impact
FISCAL IMPACT: The resurfacing project is estimated not-to-exceed $723,806.50, to be funded from the Powell Bill fund in FY2026. There is no additional budget impact for this item.
